re: Cuba embargo to be lifted

Have you forgotten that China was under the most brutal dictatorship of the 20th Century, even worse than Stalin and Hitler? This will take time. The more America invests in Cuba, the more progressive they will become

The severity of the regimes has nothing to do with anything. China didn't wake up out of the communist nightmare because America threw money at them and reached out with some gay fricking made for TV olive branch circle jerk. They were failing miserably, changed their system to allow for trade and other capitalistic ideals, and THEN they began to prosper. America helped, but really, only to outsource jobs and take advantage of their cheap labor. Great for them. Not so much for us.

But Cuba won't ever get to that point, because we are bailing them out, and in the nick of time, too, as their Russian and Venezuelan big brothers were running out of resources to give them. It's a crappy welfare state that relies on the resources of others to achieve anything above bare minimum survival, and we just became their new daddy. That's all that happened today. I'm sure their corrupt, fat pice of shite government officials are overjoyed, but the other 99% of them still have no hope and no way to make a better life.

American products? Maybe if they were allowed into the fricking country, they'd like them. Let me know when that happens. Of course, some of the starry-eyed dipshits in this thread wouldn't like that very much either.

Please give me a reason besides Louisiana's sugar industry and the retarded assumption Cuba isn't going to change?

Give me a reason for them to change now. They used to have one. Now they don't. That's the point you keep missing. The sugar industry is just one small aspect of a larger argument.

Sorry if it seems like a pretty good place to invest for anyone outside of the sugar industry.

Great. Let me know when we are allowed to invest there and I'll jump on board.
